TADHAMUN تـضـامـن

Tadhamun (solidarity) is an Iraqi women organization, standing by Iraqi women's struggle against sectarian politics in Iraq. Fighting for equal citizenship across ethnicities and religions, for human rights, and gender equality.

Protest the suffering of Iraqi Christians: No to terrorism No to state terrorism.Hands off our minorities. Hands off our people. Shame on the human rights violators on all sides. Assemble 11:30 on 28/7/14 near Parliament Square, near Westminister tube station London. For more past events click here

We women of Tadhamun condemn the persisting practice of arbitrary arrests by the Iraqi security forces. We condemn their arrests of women in lieu of their men folk. These are 'inherited' practices. We are alarmed by credible media reports of the Green Zone government’s intentions of executing hundreds of Iraqi men and women.

GENEVA
(25 April 2016) – Iraq must immediately take concrete steps to plan for
“the day after” the defeat of ISIL, grounded in equality, the rule of
law and a vision that has earned the confidence of all the country’s
diverse communities, UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Kate
Gilmore urged today, at the end of a week-long visit to Iraq.

“Iraq, it seems, has a long memory but is short on
vision,” Gilmore said. “It is like a vehicle travelling over rocky
terrain, with a large rearview mirror but only a keyhole for a
windscreen, despite a vicious contest for the wheel. The dominant
narrative among many of Iraq’s leaders is of ‘my community’s grievance’,
failing to acknowledge the widespread nature of Iraqis’ suffering and
failing to chart a course for an inclusive future.”

“Iraqis are crying out for fairness, recognition,
justice, appreciation and meaningful participation in shaping their
future – a process that goes forward and not backwards.”

“All the leaders of Iraq, at every level, in both word
and action, need to demonstrate a far greater commitment to peace,
equality and to the rule of law than to grievances or to vengeance
hardwired by sectarianism. There is a worrying absence of a political
narrative that brings together all the diverse communities in Iraq, a
narrative that includes all the minority communities. This must be
urgently addressed,” she added.

Samarra Minrate built in 852 AD

Building of 1 500 massive police station !

From the angle of the photo, it is possible to calculate that the complex is being built at E 396388 N 3785995 (UTM Zone 38 North) or Lat. 34.209760° Long. 43.875325°, to the west of the Malwiya (Spiral Minaret), and behind the Spiral Cafe.While the point itself may not have more than Abbasid houses under the ground, it is adjacent to the palace of Sur Isa, the remains of which can be seen in the photo. While the initial construction might or might not touch the palace, accompanying activities will certainly spread over it.Sur Isa can be identified with the palace of al-Burj, built by theAbbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil, probably in 852-3 (Northedge, Historical Topography of Samarra, pp 125-127, 240). The palace is said to have cost 33 million dirhams, and was luxurious. Details are given by al-Shabushti, Kitab al-Diyarat.Samarra was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO at the end of June. The barracks could easily have been built elsewhere, off the archaeological site.--Alastair Northedge Professeur d'Art et d'Archeologie Islamiques UFR d'Art et d'ArcheologieUniversite de Paris I (Pantheon-Sorbonne) 3, rue Michelet, 75006 Paristel. 01 53 73 71 08 telecopie : 01 53 73 71 13 Email :Alastair.Northedge@univ-paris1.fr ou anorthedge@wanadoo.fr
